I can't believe the amount of seemingly intelligent folk that go apes*** over this massive play of smoke and mirrors. It's almost insane. Like all heterosexual men can be conned by a pair of great tits. Some also seem to get caught out by a load of old political spin. Indeed. The illusion of choice. The late great George Carlin did a great stand up set about it in the US. Know it well. About conning the public into thinking that they have a choice. Very clever and very true.

Yes, idiot electorate rejecting things you support. They must be fools, unable to use their common sense in making a choice.

The late great George Carlin did a great stand up set about it in the US. I'd say there is choice, but that choice is irrelevant for most people. For example, the Conservatives have around 37% of the vote, and return with 327 seats. UKIP polls 10% and gets 1. Lib Dems return 7% of the vote and get 8 seats. Neither representative, democratic or fair. Like you say, its about the establishment of the status quo for the purposes of pretending to be democratic.

I love the way Dr. Livingstone said that Labour lost because they were not left-wing enough and too New Labour. Just think, if they had followed Ken's advice they would have probably picked up the 261 TUSC and 125 Communist party votes in Croydon North - but would that have been enough to sweep them to power?

Hahaha. He and his party really got what he deserved in the end. Cable was the biggest disappointment. Before he was "in power", he sung from all the right sheets and sounded like he'd work wonders if he ever got a position of authority. Bigger let down than when we got Edgar Davids.

Yes, idiot electorate rejecting things you support. They must be fools, unable to use their common sense in making a choice. You mean that 6.2% difference in the number of votes cast for those two parties.... The weird thing is that the Conservative support increased by 0.8% but has been sufficient to return a majority? Curious. Ironically Labour increased their share of the vote by 1.4% (more increase than the conservatives). Why its almost as if some peoples votes are worth much more than others....

Labour must remember to hold the election on a day that the dole offices are closed next time.

They have taken to social media to announce the fall of the nation, presumably the same as they were doing while they should've been going to the polling station yesterday.
